  2. Anterior cingulate cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cingulate_cortex

    cortex cingularis anterior. NeuroNames. 161. NeuroLex ID. birnlex_936. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] In the human brain, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex that resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33.

  3. Cingulate cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cingulate_cortex

    Cingulate cortex is shown in yellow. The cingulate cortex is a part of the brain situated in the medial aspect of the cerebral cortex. The cingulate cortex includes the entire cingulate gyrus, which lies immediately above the corpus callosum, and the continuation of this in the cingulate sulcus. The cingulate cortex is usually considered part ...

  4. Brodmann area 24 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_24

    In the guenon this area is referred to as area 24 of Brodmann-1905.It includes portions of the cingulate gyrus and the frontal lobe.The cortex is thin; it lacks the internal granular layer (IV) so that the densely distributed, plump pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) merge with similar cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V); the multiform layer (VI) is very ...

  5. Salience network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salience_network

    The salience network is theorized to mediate switching between the default mode network and central executive network. [1] [2]The salience network (SN), also known anatomically as the midcingulo-insular network (M-CIN) or ventral attention network, is a large scale network of the human brain that is primarily composed of the anterior insula (AI) and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC).

  6. Papez circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papez_circuit

    The circuit connects the hypothalamus and the cortex and acts as the emotional system of the brain. "The cingulate cortex projects to the hippocampus, and the hippocampus projects to the hypothalamus by way of the bundle of axons called the fornix. Hypothalamic effects reach the cortex via a relay in the anterior thalamic nuclei." [7]

  7. Insular cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_cortex

    The insular cortex is divided into two parts: the anterior insula and the posterior insula in which more than a dozen field areas have been identified. The cortical area overlying the insula toward the lateral surface of the brain is the operculum (meaning lid). The opercula are formed from parts of the enclosing frontal, temporal, and parietal ...

  8. Brodmann area 32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_32

    Medial surface of the brain with Brodmann's areas numbered. The Brodmann area 32, also known in the human brain as the dorsal anterior cingulate area 32, refers to a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined cingulate cortex. In the human it forms an outer arc around the anterior cingulate gyrus. The cingulate sulcus defines approximately ...

  9. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsolateral_prefrontal_cortex

    Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC or DL-PFC) is an area in the prefrontal cortex of the primate brain. It is one of the most recently derived parts of the human brain. It undergoes a prolonged period of maturation which lasts into adulthood. [1] The DLPFC is not an anatomical structure, but rather a ...
